Our Dorm Building Only Has One Facilities Person To Clean, She Works So Hard Yet The People On My Floor Are Still Disgusting. I Can't Blame Her For Leaving This Note
According to the website PsychMechanics, there are some basics about the psychology of selfishness that we all should know:
A selfish person is the one who puts his own needs first. He's primarily concerned with himself and seeks out only those activities that fulfill his own desires and wants. Anything wrong with that? I don’t think so.
Going by that definition, we're all selfish in one way or the other. All of us want to do things that are ultimately for our own good and well-being. This type of selfishness is good and desirable.
So far so good. The problem arises when we do things for ourselves and at the same time ignore the needs of those around us or when we fulfill our needs at the expense of others. When you make life difficult for others to meet your own ends, then that kind of selfishness is the selfishness that you’d like to avoid.

Sorry, but why didn't you say anything instead of making photos? Don't let people like this get away with sh** like this. The reason they are acting in this way is because they don't care, as no one probably ever told them to stop. Again, this is disrespectful and shouldn't be ignored!
There are several reasons that could make someone selfish...
A person who holds on to his resources and doesn't give it to the needy can be considered a selfish person and this is the type of selfishness that we commonly refer to when we say that someone is selfish.
When we say that someone is selfish, we usually mean that he doesn't share his resources (money, time, etc.). Now, why won’t a person share his resources, even if it's the best thing to do in a given situation?
The biggest reason is that he thinks he doesn't have enough. A selfish person, therefore, is also likely to be stingy. This insecurity of not having enough motivates a person to hold on to his resources and not share them.
If You Or Your Kids Think That It's A Good Idea To Leave The Cinema Like This, Damn You
He/She Saw Nothing Wrong With Parking There
People who do this deserve to get their car damaged by the air ambulance crew and their streacher. It's probably the only way they'll learn.
Another reason is a fear of losing control. If someone has many needs and goals, then he overvalues his resources because he thinks that these resources are going to help him reach his goals. If he loses his resources, he loses his goals and if he loses his goals he feels he has lost control over his life.
For example, a student who doesn't share his study notes with others is the one who has high academic goals and sharing notes could mean losing an important resource that could help him reach his goal. And not being able to reach your goals is a perfect recipe for a feeling of loss of control over your life.
In other cases, the way a person was raised can also make him act in selfish ways. The only child or the child whose every demand was met by his parents (spoilt child) learns to take as much as he can and give very little back.
Such children learn to care only for their needs with little empathy or consideration for others. As children, we were all like that to some extent but gradually we began to learn that other people have emotions too and so developed empathy.
Some people never learn empathy and therefore remain selfish, just like when they were kids.
Urgh...
Was Told To Post This Here. Woman Stomped All Over The Plants In This Conservatory For Instagram Shots Despite Staff Repeatedly Asking Her To Stop
The most important thing to do when dealing with a selfish reason is to figure out the reason for his selfishness and then work on eliminating that reason.
All other methods and efforts of dealing with him are going to be in vain. Ask yourselves questions like...Why is he being selfish? What is he feeling so insecure about? Are you making unrealistic demands of him? Is he really in a position to meet your demands?
We are often too quick to label someone ‘selfish’ instead of admitting that we failed to persuade them or that our demands are unreasonable.
But what if they are really being selfish and you're not just falsely labeling them?
Well then, help them get rid of their insecurity. Show them that they're not going to lose anything by giving you what you want. Or better yet, show them how they may benefit by helping you if there's a possibility of a win-win situation.

as a waitress, I've truly enjoyed telling these parents to pick up their (literally) shitty child & go to the bathrooms. Then blatantly got super-strong disinfectant and cleaned the table while their companions were still there.... and had to deal with the odours of the chemicals. "But madam, I must do this, due to the Health Hazard caused by you / your friend. And no, we can't move you to another table, as they're reserved. May I get you some dessert?" :D :D :D

These Girls Taking Up 2 Seats Each While Other People Have To Stand
When I was heavily pregnant, I had tot ride a really busy bus. Just one seat was free so I went to sit there. The whole bus was full of students. One stop later a old lady with a walking cane came in. No one stood up for her. So I did. That made me so angry. A whole bus full of healthy young people and the only one who is getting up and have to stand is a 7 month pregnant women.
I’ve been the person with the cane that gave up my seat to a pregnant woman while some dink was spread eagle next to her.....so I sat on his lap and asked he could ask for manners for Christmas

I mean, those girls are what? 14? 15? And people around them are grown-ups. And no one is willing to stop them or sit beside them? Just let them get through with it? This way they'll never learn to behave, as they clearly didn't learn it at home.
Again, now that I’m older, I would have no qualms about pushing those feet to the floor and sitting down right next to her. If she complained, I’d tell her to go sit next to her buddy if she doesn’t like it.
What I do in these situations is that I start sitting down slowly while saying 'Do you mind?'. They have no choice but to move their feet, unless they want my fat ass to sit on them.
As much as this is rude and unacceptable behavior, the people that tolerate this are as much to blame. Tell those brats to put their feet down!
Yeah I would, but what all you get is a big mouth.

Why cover their face since you want to show the world what they did, if you want to cover their face might take this pic off, I mean what's the point though
These are underage girls so maybe it would be inappropriate to put the pic up without covering their faces

WHY ARE YOU HIDING THE FACES OF THESE ASSHOLES? A little shame might do them some good (assuming they can even feel shame).
Why are people afraid to say something? Obviously their parents didn't teach them any respect for others so I guess its up to the public to do it.
I rode Amtrak a few years ago. A young lady in the seat in front of me was on her cell phone (night ride) and talked loudly. Everyone in the car could hear her and it was very irritating to me. finally I leaned over and shouted at her....hand up that damn phone, we're tired of hearing you. I got a round of applause from the other passengers. This was around 1 a.m. She hung up! I guess she was probably 20-22 years old.
In my country is an unwritten rule, give the seat to pregnant, disabled and old people
I Have to admit, sometimes it's hard to see the difference between pregnant or ahum, not. But when its obvious, or people are old, or have a cane... come on!....
Sometimes oke, but mine belly was clearly a pregnant one.

Two self-righteous disrespectful teenage girls who need to be put in their places, OFF of those seats!! Letting them get away with this kind of behavior is why so many younger people are complete and total losers these days.
I would (and have done this) sit on their legs! They see me walking over and they have 3...2...1.. to move or I sit!
Let alone their dirty shoes on the seats. Not everyone who rides public transport is wearing garbage clothes,
Sometimes you just have to have the guts to say.....hey! please move your damn feet off the seat so i can sit down.
I recognize the breed - self-centered always catered to brats. Why scratch out their faces? Let them be known for what they are.... trash.
Why hide their faces? So the wolf parents won't see their snowflakes in their natural habitat?
I am 70 yrs old and I don't remember kids being like this EVER! Unlike animals who are born with instinct and are taught by watching, we have communication and it is our responsibility to teach our children respect for others and for themselves.
My mom raised me to give up my seat to an adult if there were none available. I still do it to this day and I myself am an adult now.
Why do you hide their faces, should let everyone see who they are
reminds me of 2 immature hs bitches who put filthy SAND all over the school bus stop benches EXCEPT where they wanted to sit so my sister and i couldn't! i hope they both failed repeatedly!
I would tell them off and sit on there legs if they won’t move grrrr makes me so angry
Don't Scratch their faces. World need to see them so they'll recognize them later...
And with their dirty shoes on the seats where someone is going to sit with their nice work clothes after these entitled brats leave.
They would gladly give up their seats after I got done with a hefty helping of verbal abuse !!!!!!
Adults don't have manners anymore. Children learn what they see. It's not the kids fault but their parents'.

If I were there, I would guide elderly people to sit on those two entitled b**ches knees. Crass but effective!
That's right up there with man-spreading, those girls could've shared a seat if they didn't want strange men sitting next to them.
when I see someone do this on a bus or tram I always always say to them to put their fuc**** feet off the seat
Recently saw a woman who had easily visible rather severe mobility problems get onto a bus with mostly filled seats and asking a man sitting right at the door (best place to sit if you have limited mobility) if she could sit there. Instead of moving his ass two seats away to a seat that would have been just as good for him he just said no. Didn't say anything about having mobility problems himself. Just a plain "no".
Hell nah, happens all the time in NYC. Just gotta tell them to move.
Dangerous ppl that have that problem ... I'd just sit down on them @66 yrs old BRATS
Oh, and I thought man-spreading was the great, sexist evil of public transport etiquette breaches.
Not respecting their elders and people who need to sit, will come back to bite them!
Both my husband and son willingly give up their seats to anyone who obviously is needing to sit, or women in general. It's a show of respect. I am always proud that they do this. It amazes me that some young men don't know this aspect of a quality character.
I'd give them an opportunity to move their legs then I'd sit down, legs be damned.
I’m amazed how much that happened here in New England, I’m from the South and if there is an empty seat someone would be telling them to move their feet so someone could sit down. And as for letting the elderly stand while young ones sit.. our mamas raised us better than that. I
This happens all the time in public transport. Also people who put their bags on the seat next to them and don't want to move it when it's crowded.
See. I don't have a problem with confrontation at all. I would have walked up to one of these girls & said "excuse me" & motioned for them to take their feet off of the second seat. And if they didn't move their feet, I would have put my 225 lbs square down on them. End of story.
Some students can be so very rude. I was told to stand for the ones who need the sit more than I do.
In this particular case, I would have walked up to the seat and confronted them and if they didn't move, I would have pushed their feet off and sat down. I'm sure an argument would have ensued, but it would be a great education opportunity for them.
I once gave up my seat on a train to a heavily pregnant lady, despite having badly sprained my ankle that same day. As she was walking towards the seat, a teenage boy shoved her out of the way and snatched the seat! There are so many selfish people out there.
I once gave up my seat on the train for a heavily pregnant lady, as she was walking towards the seat, a teenage boy shoved her out the way and snatched it. Everyone was furious and ganged up on him until he got up and let the pregnant lady have it. There are so many selfish people out there.
I remember getting dirty looks on a bus once because I didn't stand up when an older person got on, but what they didn't realise is that I was actually feeling overheated, sick, dizzy and unwell. So occasionally you never know the real story. But in the case of these little assholes, there's really no excuse. I'd tell them to shift.
Crowded gynecologis s office; Skinny young punk (male) sprawled on the only comfortable seat, a place big enough for two people.
I've run into the same situation, so I just plunk myself down on the seat, sometimes on their feet. They get the message.
I am not beyond telling them to move their a**. Are people so weak that they don't want to make these "snowflakes" cry? I have been told I am "mean" no I am not mean I just don't put up with inconsiderate people.
The bus driver should've ordenes these rude girls to seat property or either llave the bus
Parents may not have taught their kids, about respect, and being kind, and thoughtful !!!
Remember that post where the guy literally at on the boy's legs? I would have done just that
This used to happen to me on the trolley all the time. Thankfully, I'm not shy nor am I quiet - I'd simply say EXCUSE ME and they'd move over.
Kids today have NO MANNER WHATSOEVER. Bottom line? They simply weren’t taught.
By not saying something (loudly) you and everyone else on the bus are saying this behavior is okay - either that or you are all afraid of repercussions - what has happened to our world?
I'd tell them to move their damn feet and sit next to each other and if not, I'd sit on their damn feet.
Our parents taught us that, to stand for anyone old, injured, or pregnant on public transit. Again this is about bad parenting. It's a shame.
I'd ask nicely first and then there would be HELL TO PAY if they talked back to me. Long hair has it's uses like pulling their little asses out of those seats. Their young, THEY can stand. I can't stand parents that raise the kids to be selfish little pieces of shit!
And above all wiping their shoes on the seats... I have seen entitled idiots placing their feet in the opposite seats too....
You will often find people like these doing it in seats reserved for handicapped and seniors.
Sorry, but if you want to sit and someone is a jerk like this, ask them to move. If they don't, SIT ANYWAY... they'll probably move.
I HATE it when people have their dirty shoes on seats s.one wants to sit on!!
I got on a bus once where there were multiple people taking up two seats. I had recently had a back injury and was walking with a cane. NO ONE would let me have a seat. I was in so much pain I could not stand any more. I literally had to sit down on the step near the back door.
and they have thier damn dirty feet on the seats, they were not raised right
Clearly girls NOT from caring homes, I'd say or sociopaths in the making...
Ugh! I hate people like this. Especially pole hoggers, on the subway I've literally had people just lean their entire body onto my hand, expecting me to pull away. Then they get offended when I don't and blow a gasket about how I'm molesting them like they didn't voluntarily lean on my knuckles.
Just sit on them. Having your feet broken by my fat ass will teach them not to be little cunts.
You just sit on their legs and feet they will get the picture. Don't let them get away with it - confront!
How hard is it to simply ask them to please move so that you can sit down?
I would have walked up to them and said "Hey..can you two sit together so other people can sit down. If they stayed put, I'd start sitting down on their legs.
Honestly, I would have asked them to move first then sat right down on those arrogant legs!!
Other people don't "have" to stand! They could open their mouth and tell those girls to seat corectly on one single seat! Don't forget that "Evil triumphs thanks to the inaction of good men" !
I do place my bag on the chair on say the bus, but the moment I see someone needs a chair, they are getting it.
Okay. Someone needs to say something to these 2 young ladies. NOW!
This is something else I will not put up with I make them move their feet and legs and if they do not I would sit on them.
Nope. Kick their feet out of the way and sit down or sit down on their legs.
abd putting their filthy soles on the seat, its making my blood boil
I have no problem asking someone to move so I can sit. Too often people fume with aggravation instead of politely taking a stand (or a sit : ) ). My stepson knows to offer his seat, to hold a door open, etc.
I hate when people do that on the school bus. One time I had to share a seat with two other people (and I'm not a small person) because this girl was taking up the whole seat in a VERY overcrowded bus.
I would ask them to move (politely) and if they dont I would sit on there dam feet!
Nope, I'm going to sit on her legs and she will move to sit like a human with her friend.
Anyone standing should just kindly ask them to move their filthy feet off the chairs - entitled libtards!
Meh. I wouldn't want to sit on cloth seats on public transit anyway. The things I've seen done on the Blue Line in LA ... there are all sorts of nasty bodily fluids and particles ground into those cloth seats. Better to stand. And carry plenty of sani-wipes.
People Hoping To Skip Queues By Standing Like This And Trying To Slip In
Last week I stood with my little son in a long, long line to buy an ice cream. I myself am obviously very pregnant and we stood there already for 15 minutes in the heat when a woman did just that. I walked around her with my son while my huge baby bump touched her and explained to my little boy loud and clear that you did not behave that way in lines, like this young woman did.
